Alicia Silverstone was born on October 4, 1976 in San Francisco, California, United States. She attended Crocker Middle School and then San Mateo High School. Whenever the Silverstones had time during the summer, they went to England with to visit relatives (mother --Didi-- was a airline stewardess so they got discounts). Alicia's father, Monty, saw how beautiful Alicia was and he started to take pictures, which started a modeling career at the age of eight. Alicia got modeling jobs for YSL, Levis' Dockers, and Marshall's. She also took some ballet classes and won 4th place at a contest. Alicia said modeling was a easy way to make money, but it wasn't what she wanted to do. Alicia wanted to act. She took an intensive acting class at the age of twelve (sources range from twelve to thirteen) from Judi O'Neill. While in Los Angeles for a showcase, Carolyn Kessler saw her and became her agent and later a good friend. She then moved to Los Angeles, where she attended Beverly Hills High School for a short time (Alicia later received her GDE). |
